Speaker 1: I'm telling you, Boston, we have full lines, folks, and
Speaker 1: I'm gratified by that. So I want to hear what
Speaker 1: people have to say. I will try to. My message
Speaker 1: is simple. Uh, it's kind of what Robert F. Kennedy said.
Speaker 1: Violence begets violence, and every time there's a violent act
Speaker 1: in one direction, there's often a similar violent act in
Speaker 1: a different direction.
Speaker 2: Let's let's get right back to the call. It's going
Speaker 2: to go to Ron. Ron.
Speaker 1: Thanks for checking in you next on Nightside, right.
Speaker 3: Ron Hie, again, thanks so much for taking my call.
Speaker 3: I just have a couple of comments. I think we
Speaker 3: really need to ramp up our re turrent measures here
Speaker 3: in terms of hate crimes, and whether it be increased
Speaker 3: cameras or definitely's punishment for the crimes as a deterrent.
Speaker 3: But I don't think we have a leadership that can
Speaker 3: take a stand Onut. I don't think we have the
Speaker 3: I don't think our leaders especially in Massachusetts, have the
Speaker 3: courage to take a stand on such hate hate crimes.
Speaker 4: I mean, one of.
Speaker 2: The things one of the things that people can do.
Speaker 1: Uh. And they apparently caught this guy, or they were
Speaker 1: able to identify this guy fairly quickly because of home
Speaker 1: security cameras, So you know, I think that that's always
Speaker 1: something that is important to do.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: And you know, if you can have a home security camera,
Speaker 1: even the people who were shot, they got to they
Speaker 1: at least got a picture of this guy, gave him
Speaker 1: an idea who they were looking for. So, you know,
Speaker 1: anything that would would would discourage people. I just think
Speaker 1: that the attitude of some people when they big free
Speaker 1: speech guy. My friend Harvey Silverglate, who will hear from
Speaker 1: in a moment or two, is a big free speech guy.
Speaker 1: But one of the things is when you get in
Speaker 1: some of this speech where you're calling people, you know,
Speaker 1: the worst thing since you know, you know, hitler or
Speaker 1: whatever or demonic, as my friend Alex from Cambridge said,
Speaker 1: then the people who are a little bit a little
Speaker 1: bit imbalanced, figure, well, maybe I can go ahead and
Speaker 1: and and do something that's good and get rid of
Speaker 1: people who are that bad. That's you know, and it's
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's scary.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 1: We've seen I've seen too many political assassinations in my life,
Speaker 1: and I know you have as well.
Speaker 7: I have too, And thank you for leading into that because.
Speaker 3: You know, as as I think you may know. I
Speaker 3: read the Wall Street Journal lot, and uh, I'm particularly
Speaker 3: interested in some of the articles on the commentary that's
Speaker 3: made in this case, it's on a twenty four to
Speaker 3: seven basis. You should read some of the hate that
Speaker 3: is simply exactly what our friend Alex demonstrated just a
Speaker 3: short time ago. It's very and I think unfortunately, our media,
Speaker 3: as I shared with Marita earlier, I think our media
Speaker 3: is adding is throwing gas onto the embers. I mean,
Speaker 3: when you see this sort of thing, it just it
Speaker 3: makes it worse. And you know, I hadn't planned on,
Speaker 3: but at one point in time, I signed up for
Speaker 3: the notifications from CBS, and it's like every three times
Speaker 3: tonight during my work shift, I received breaking news notifications
Speaker 3: and it's always just a sound by man, you know,
Speaker 3: highlighting one side or the other.
Speaker 4: You take a look at Boston Gould and you look
Speaker 4: at Wall Street through.
Speaker 7: When you look at New York Times, that's unbelievable.
Speaker 3: I can't trust you. You personally are the Paul Revere
Speaker 3: in terms of messaging anything that comes close to the truth,
Speaker 3: or at least you know, I have to share just
Speaker 3: one thing before I let others.
Speaker 7: A few days ago.
Speaker 3: I happened to meet in a cafeteria sitting there after
Speaker 3: emergency room, and a gentleman sits down across from me.
Speaker 3: We start talking to the physician and I shared with
Speaker 3: him my deployment to Iran, and he looked at me.
Speaker 3: After we talked, and I showed them some pictures of
Speaker 3: the little kids that we took care of. You know,
Speaker 3: a thousand Prussian dereies, three four thousand people died. But
Speaker 3: it wasn't the people were It wasn't the people that
Speaker 3: were uh demons, if you will, it was it's the
Speaker 3: theocratic leadership there.
Speaker 4: And you know, the.
Speaker 3: Amazing story is and I couldn't happen. I don't know
Speaker 3: how it happened. But so he looked at me and
Speaker 3: he said, Ron, those little kids that you took care
Speaker 3: of are my age. He said that they need any
Speaker 3: ophthalmologists on your team. This is incredible. We're able to
Speaker 3: have the discussion.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and hopefully hopefully that gentleman will join will join
Speaker 1: your team. Ron, I gotta fly here because I'm all
Speaker 1: lots of good wisdom there. Thank you so much for
Speaker 1: the kind words. Appreciate it very much.
Speaker 4: You're welcome.
Speaker 2: Let me get my friend Harvey silver glad in here,
Speaker 2: Hobby welcome.
Speaker 1: I know you're a First Amendment guy, and I'm sure
Speaker 1: that you're a little bit concerned about some of the
Speaker 1: comments that I have made tonight.
Speaker 2: Right ahead, I.
Speaker 5: Am very concerned about some of the comments. The solution
Speaker 5: to this is not to outlaw hate speech. As I've
Speaker 5: said before, hate speech is very important because it identifies
Speaker 5: the haters. Sure, and we know who am not to
Speaker 5: turn our backs on. The solution is not to contail speech.
Speaker 5: I think that part of the blame is in Donald Trump,
Speaker 5: and let me tell you why. I know that it's
Speaker 5: satisfact blaming the victim, but I'll tell you why. He
Speaker 5: sat by during the Capitol Hill riots, which the Democrats,
Speaker 5: to their discredit, call an insurrection. It was not an insurrection.
Speaker 5: It was a riot, words matter, and he sat by
Speaker 5: to hours and let this go on. Have called in
Speaker 5: the National Guard, the ditto and in law, whereas in
Speaker 5: Los Angeles he virtually declared he came within an inch
Speaker 5: of declaring martial law because he was opposed to what
Speaker 5: the riots did. The double standard has to go, I mean,
Speaker 5: but it's not. But the blame is on both sides.
Speaker 5: The rhetoric, the level of hate speech that I believe
Speaker 5: that hate speech should be one hundred percent protected, Marsha.
Speaker 5: But we have a responsibility for moderating us speech. Well,
Speaker 5: we don't have an oblag We don't we don't have
Speaker 5: an apple, We don't have a legal obligation, but we
Speaker 5: have the obligation of citizenship.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So you and I on as far apart,
Speaker 1: maybe as some people might think on this, in the
Speaker 1: sense that I just think that you criticized a Trump
Speaker 1: and rightfully so he should have called for National Guard.
Speaker 1: Maybe it was too late. Now I know that there's
Speaker 1: some questions about whether or not Nancy Pelosi actually if
Speaker 1: he requested National Guard in advance and Pelosi, as the
Speaker 1: Speaker of the House, denied his request on that. By
Speaker 1: the way, there's there's some interesting stuff that's starting to
Speaker 1: percolate up on that. But put that aside, he certainly
Speaker 1: should have been in front of the TV cameras at
Speaker 1: by two point fifteen and saying stop it, stop it,
Speaker 1: and and go home. But I also think when all
Speaker 1: of a sudden people are comparing Trump to Addolf Hitler,
Speaker 1: I don't think that comparison is fair hobby.
Speaker 5: I really don't know whether there's no there is no
Speaker 5: comparison since the Emperor Caligila, right, sure enough, right right.
Speaker 5: And that's exactly the kind of a rhetoric that that
Speaker 5: seeds into the fanaticism. Yes, it allows to happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And because if I'm somebody on the other side, and
Speaker 1: if I'm a little imbalanced, and I take that that
Speaker 1: phrase that you know that that phrase not metaphorically, but
Speaker 1: I think it literally, I might wake up some day
Speaker 1: and say, you know what, I need to take this
Speaker 1: guy out because look what Hitler did and I want
Speaker 1: to see a repeat of it. Uh. And that's where
Speaker 1: I think, you know, both sides needs to need to
Speaker 1: need to take it down, not from a statutory point
Speaker 1: of view, but as you say, from a from a
Speaker 1: citizen's perspective and an obligatory.
Speaker 2: Point of view.
Speaker 1: Exactly burn up, all right, my friend. As always, thank you, Harvey.
Speaker 1: You've brought some clarity to our conversation, as you tend
Speaker 1: to do every time. Thank your friend. Talk to you soon.
Speaker 1: Take quick break. Coming right back on Night's side, I
Speaker 1: have Mary Beth and handover coming up. The only line
Speaker 1: open right now was six months, two five four to
Speaker 1: ten thirty. Everything else is full six one, seven, two, five,
Speaker 1: four to ten thirty. The question is there's there's a
Speaker 1: couple of questions here. One is, if there's violence from
Speaker 1: either side, it has to be denounced. And I would
Speaker 1: argue that the greater obligation on the people from whichever
Speaker 1: side the violence emanated. Sometimes the violence doesn't have a side.
Speaker 1: Sometimes the violence is just insane. Okay. But but if
Speaker 1: it's you know, if you happen to be a conservative,
Speaker 1: denounce what this guy did in Minnesota, Denounce it to
Speaker 1: your friends. There's no way that anyone should be silent
Speaker 1: on this same way the guy that killed the young
Speaker 1: couple outside the Jewish Museum. I don't care what you
Speaker 1: think about Palestine, Okay, you can't go around shooting people
Speaker 1: in the street and then say free Palestine, Free Palestine.
Speaker 1: It has to be denounced. I don't know if care.
Speaker 1: The Council on Islamic the Council on American Islamic Relations,
Speaker 1: which is a very anti Israeli organization, per se, did
Speaker 1: they say anything.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm going to try to find out during the break.
Speaker 1: We'll take a quick break. Coming right back. This is
Speaker 1: a quick one, coming right back on Nightside. You're on
Speaker 1: Night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio. Okay,
Speaker 1: I just checked it out, and the Council on American
Speaker 1: Islamic Relations CARE did denounce the shooting on the two
Speaker 1: embassy staff members. The Israeli embassy Israel member, they were
Speaker 1: not Israeli.
Speaker 2: One Jewish woman.
Speaker 1: From Kansas was killed, and Kerr said, we condemned last
Speaker 1: night's deadly attack on Israeli embassy employees in Washington, d C. Well,
Speaker 1: good for you CARE. What's one of the first times
Speaker 1: that I've seen that, and I'm very happy that you
Speaker 1: did that. While millions of them, they went on to
Speaker 1: politicize it a little bit, which is fine, while millions
Speaker 1: of Americans feel extreme frustration at the site of the
Speaker 1: Israeli government slaughtering Palestinian men, women, and children on a
Speaker 1: daily basis with weapons paid for with our taxpayer dollars.
Speaker 1: Political violence is an unacceptable crime and it's not the answer. Okay,
Speaker 1: I disagree with the characterization of what Israel is doing
Speaker 1: in Gaza, but I certainly do appreciate their condemnation of
Speaker 1: last night's deadly attack on Israeli embassy employees. In Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. See, we're fear here on Nightside, believe it
Speaker 1: or not. Mary Beth in handover, Mary Beth, thank you
Speaker 1: for calling in and thank you for your patience.
Speaker 6: Oh sure, it's it's just getting so stressful because you
Speaker 6: can even join a conversation on social media or something.
Speaker 6: Because I was literally trying to have a conversation with
Speaker 6: someone and they just kept coming back and tacking, and
Speaker 6: I'm like, no, really, I want to know your point
Speaker 6: of view, you know. I mean, I think if we can,
Speaker 6: if we could just get to the point where we
Speaker 6: can actually have conversations instead of you know, because I've
Speaker 6: sat down with people that are friends of mine on
Speaker 6: the other side, and you know, we can discuss that
Speaker 6: we may not agree with each other, but we'll at
Speaker 6: least say why we believe this or that. But this
Speaker 6: hate is it's definitely from the politicians media too. But
Speaker 6: like the politicians on both sides are just giving everyone
Speaker 6: commission to be violent, and you know so many, yeah.
Speaker 1: Some may be doing that, and I think that has
Speaker 1: to be condemned. What we try to do here on
Speaker 1: Nightside is have rational conversations. Sometimes exactly people are unable
Speaker 1: to do that. And I know I had some frustrations
Speaker 1: with Alex because he will call President and Trump a
Speaker 1: demon can do that, but he should understand there's some questions.
Speaker 6: Yeah, here's here's the thing. You're not going to win
Speaker 6: somebody over to your side by that kind of behavior.
Speaker 6: So by him, you know, shouting out to the world
Speaker 6: that you know. I mean, I have my beliefs too,
Speaker 6: but you're not going to get someone from the other
Speaker 6: side to come over to your side by attacking them.
Speaker 2: So with you, I agree with you totally on that.
Speaker 6: But and when I'm telling you, when I thought when
Speaker 6: I saw the kid that was throwing rocks at every
Speaker 6: single car, it infuriated me, just like Portland, just like
Speaker 6: JA six. You know, I'm so stressed out with all
Speaker 6: of those people, you know, I mean, I'm angry with them.
Speaker 6: You're not helping your cause.
Speaker 1: Well, for some reason they had this view that again protesters,
Speaker 1: you got there's some funding going on out there. I
Speaker 1: don't want to get into that conversation, and I will
Speaker 1: say about from another night, but there's a lot of
Speaker 1: that that is really pre planned. And I just wanted
Speaker 1: to focus tonight on this guy in Minnesota who felt
Speaker 1: he had the right to come people's homes, private homes
Speaker 1: and kill them because he had political disagreements with them,
Speaker 1: and all of his targets. To the best of our knowledge,
Speaker 1: we're Democrats.
Speaker 8: Why the acting.
Speaker 1: US attorney out there, who we played that SoundBite from.
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about him. I don't know if
Speaker 1: he's a Republican, if he's a Democrat. It just seems
Speaker 1: to me that he should have been much more straightforward.
Speaker 1: I'll do a little bit of work on him, find.
Speaker 6: Out, you know, and nobody's asking him to jump the
Speaker 6: gun and just say, hey, this is what it was,
Speaker 6: but don't say, yeah, we're not really sure because it's
Speaker 6: kind of obvious.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, he actually talked about how that all of the
Speaker 1: people on the list were Democrats, and so who do
Speaker 1: they think this guy was? You know? So let me see, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess this guy was appointed by Donald Trump on
Speaker 1: June second, So Joseph H. Thompson, who served as a
Speaker 1: federal prosecutor for sixteen years, has been appointed by President
Speaker 1: Trump to serve as the acting UNS Attorney for the
Speaker 1: District of Minnesota. I think he missed the ball. I
Speaker 1: think that now whether or not he felt loyalty to
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. I think that's that's a mistake. This guy
Speaker 1: clearly was on one side of the political spectrum.
Speaker 8: And yeah, I mean.
Speaker 6: You hired to do a job, doing the job no
Speaker 6: matter what you got, you know, I mean, people were
Speaker 6: turning against each other as a nation.
Speaker 5: It's just so sad, Mary Beth.
Speaker 1: I appreciate your call and and I appreciate your support
Speaker 1: on this one.
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks, we'll talk.
Speaker 6: About a great night.
Speaker 1: My pleasure. Keep calling the show. We have two lines
Speaker 1: at six, one, seven, nine, three, one, ten thirty. Let
Speaker 1: me go next to h Tom in Dorchester. Tom, you
Speaker 1: were next on NIGHTSIDEM. Going to get you in here
Speaker 1: before the news at the bottom of the hour.
Speaker 8: Go ahead, Tom, okay, Dan.
Speaker 9: I was trying to make this best now. I was
Speaker 9: a scoop Scoop Jackson and Hubert Huppy and John F.
Speaker 9: Kennedy Democrat. And then I saw a program in the
Speaker 9: nineteen seventies where the Communists were going to try to
Speaker 9: imporplate in piltrate one of the parties, and they set
Speaker 9: it on the Democratic Party. And as I went along and.
Speaker 1: Who whoa, whoa Tom, Where did you see that program?
Speaker 9: It was a program on television. I forget the well,
Speaker 9: it was.
Speaker 4: One of these days.
Speaker 9: Uh uh, Well, if I forget what the program was,
Speaker 9: it was, it was a half hour program.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've known a lot of I've known a lot
Speaker 1: about that stuff.
Speaker 2: I don't recall that.
Speaker 1: But I'll I'll take your word that you saw.
Speaker 9: Something, all right, thanks. So I think I voted with
Speaker 9: Jimmy Catta, and then the Democrats were all on the
Speaker 9: side of the Soviet Union. Everything the Soviet Union did
Speaker 9: the Democrats supported. So I started believing in that more
Speaker 9: and more. So then I changed my I changed to
Speaker 9: the Republicans, a motive for Ronald Reagan. And and this
Speaker 9: this week, all everything is going on today.
Speaker 5: You.
Speaker 2: Know, Joe, let me just say this.
Speaker 1: I don't think the Democrats were on the side of
Speaker 1: the Soviet Union. I think there are some liberal Democrats,
Speaker 1: but I who was on the side of the Soviet Union.
Speaker 9: Dan and you all were in congris every time we're
Speaker 9: trying to say something bad against the Soviet So.
Speaker 2: You're telling me tip O'Neil was on the side of
Speaker 2: the Soviet Union.
Speaker 9: I don't know about tip O'Neil, but Dan, they hated
Speaker 9: Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan said I'm going to destroy the
Speaker 9: evil Umpire. So that sets bottom my my case there. Well,
Speaker 9: when I when I want to get to Dannis. These
Speaker 9: people in the street right now, these are all useful
Speaker 9: idiots and they're being controlled by Maxis. These Maxis love
Speaker 9: this and this is what they want to do.
Speaker 1: Okay, Tom, Tom again, if if you're telling me that
Speaker 1: all the Democrats and and I asked you about Tip
Speaker 1: O'Neil and somehow you don't know that. I mean I
Speaker 1: I well, Tom, and I followed politics pretty carefully. We
Speaker 1: are the more liberals in the in the Do you
Speaker 1: think that Mike Dukakis was on the side of the
Speaker 1: Soviet Union.
Speaker 9: No, I don't know, Jim, but I know what I know.
Speaker 1: Come on, Tom, that's not that's not even come on,
Speaker 1: come on again.
Speaker 9: They're always back to the Soviet Union. They hated run
Speaker 9: Oding and said I'm going to destroy the evil Umpire.
Speaker 2: Okay, Tom, Enough for vision is history for this evening.
Speaker 1: But thank you for the call. Nonetheless, we'll talk later,
Speaker 1: Thanks very much. We'll take a break here. Come on, people,
Speaker 1: let's go. Come on six one, seven, two, five four
Speaker 1: to ten thirty six one seven, nine three, one, ten thirty.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that Tom believes what he said. Okay, but uh,
Speaker 1: it's not true what he said. Uh, And he can
Speaker 1: say it as much as he wants, but it's not true.
Speaker 1: We'll take a break, We'll come right back on the
Speaker 1: Night's side. I got some line six one seven, two, five,
Speaker 1: four to ten thirty. Couple there and one at six
Speaker 1: one seven, nine three one ten thirty. I'm asking what
Speaker 1: I think is a very simple question, a very simple issue.
Speaker 1: The issue is simply this, Why is it that when
Speaker 1: there's political violence, some people's responses are more muted. That
Speaker 1: should not be the case. We all need to very
Speaker 1: quickly and honestly stand up in unison and say this
Speaker 1: is not what s country is. It's not what this
Speaker 1: country has ever been about. Although we have a rich
Speaker 1: history of political violence, it is something that we have
Speaker 1: to we have to denounce, and we have to denounce
Speaker 1: it across the board, and we probably have a greater
Speaker 1: obligation if it's someone on our side of the isle
Speaker 1: who does something insane. Back on Nightside, right after the
Speaker 1: news at the bottom of the hour, we've got some
Speaker 1: open lines.
Speaker 2: Let's light them up.
Speaker 8: It's Nightside Boston's news radio.
Speaker 1: Back to the folks, go let me go to Bob
Speaker 1: and Rhode Island. Bob next on Nightside Road, Edzer Okay, Dan.
Speaker 5: They have the parade on Saturday in Washington, DC. I
Speaker 5: thought Trump was trying to reduce the deficit. How much
Speaker 5: did that cost? By the way, I think he's I
Speaker 5: think you're just with the guy about the demons Trump.
Speaker 5: I think he is a demon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well you probably think you probably think he's Hitler,
Speaker 2: right yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: He reminds me a lot of this with the nineteen
Speaker 5: thirties thirty yeah and goose stepping, and that's the guy.
Speaker 1: That fifty more than fifty percent. Again, do you want
Speaker 1: to have a conversation? You want to make a speech?
Speaker 1: If you want a speech, I'll give you thirty seconds.
Speaker 1: You could go right now. You want to go thirty.
Speaker 5: Seconds to make a speech, Go right ahead, Dan, I comment,
Speaker 5: I've complimented you in the past, is yours.
Speaker 1: All I'm saying to you is, let's have a conversation.
Speaker 1: So you you think fifty percent of the American people
Speaker 1: just elected the personification Aboutolf Hitler?
Speaker 5: Right, well, lately the way he's been as acting, Yes,
Speaker 5: I do you do.
Speaker 1: Okay, well do you think that? So you have some
Speaker 1: people on your side of the aisle who are a
Speaker 1: little balanced, they're a little unbalanced.
Speaker 2: Bye bye.
Speaker 1: By saying that, let me I'm asking you by saying that,
Speaker 1: do you take any responsibility for an action that people
Speaker 1: might take, because they're going to say, well, Bob from
Speaker 1: One Island said he's hitler.
Speaker 2: You know, I gotta get out.
Speaker 5: Everybody should think to themselves, disagree with I have some
Speaker 5: outside with that guy.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, Alex, Alex, Alex is convinced. Okay, Well again,
Speaker 1: as long as you guys continue to do that, remember this,
Speaker 1: you will lose politically, Okay, just as you lost. They
Speaker 1: ran all that stuff against Trump last October September at October,
Speaker 1: and so your rhetoric help. Oh yes, they did. Your
Speaker 1: rhetoric and the rhetoric of the Democratic Party which talked
Speaker 1: about this guy being a dangerous guy and he was
Speaker 1: a hitler.
Speaker 2: That's what that was the whole campaign.
Speaker 1: You guys, hold on and I'll finish, and then they'll
Speaker 1: give you the floor. Uh, you helped elect Donald Trump. Congratulations,
Speaker 1: go ahead.
Speaker 5: I mean nobody tried to shoot Biden, but they tried
Speaker 5: somebody tried to shoot Trump and changed a bit, and
Speaker 5: that's why he's gonna go down get impeached eventually.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this.
Speaker 5: Time it's gonna stick.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: There was one Democrat just so you know, a congressman
Speaker 1: from Detroit who's kind of crazy, and he filed an
Speaker 1: impeachment motion kids Trump. I think it was in April,
Speaker 1: and the leadership of the Democratic probably went to him
Speaker 1: and said, are you nuts?
Speaker 2: Pull that? Pull that again.
Speaker 1: That sort of rhetoric helped elect Donald Trump, whether you
Speaker 1: know it or not. Okay, so congratulations, you got you,
Speaker 1: You got us Donald Trump. Congratulations, Bob.
Speaker 5: No, I didn't give him Donald give you Donald Trump.
Speaker 5: The morons have voted for him, got me Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: That's right the way, By the way, the.
Speaker 5: Economy is going to be better for them. Trump hasn't
Speaker 5: done a positive thing he had he's been in office.
Speaker 1: Right by the way, Bob, very effective way to win
Speaker 1: people over the people who you disagree with, who disagree
Speaker 1: with him, my opinion.
Speaker 5: That's Allen. Allen, that's it.
Speaker 1: Call it, call him morons, Call him morons some more, Bob,
Speaker 1: because you know that's.
Speaker 2: Really good for good.
Speaker 5: You've got to accept what they voted for for the
Speaker 5: next year three and a half years.
Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of people who voted
Speaker 1: for him who are quite happy. And again you keep
Speaker 1: calling him morons.
Speaker 6: You're gonna You're going.
Speaker 1: To persuade them, Bob. You you are quite a rhetoricician.

Speaker 8: Oh yeah, I was gonna say something about the you know,
Speaker 8: the the brick throwing there and Brookline. Yes, uh, you know,
Speaker 8: here's some something. You know, there's other people who could
Speaker 8: be possibly blame for this, name namely the namely, namely
Speaker 8: the protest almost the same area, maybe a quarter mile
Speaker 8: away Colas Corner. They have they have the the the
Speaker 8: anti Israel, free Palestine protests right there. You had a
Speaker 8: drive through a couple of these and uh and then
Speaker 8: they you free gaysa you know, with the signs and
Speaker 8: uh and they and then they wonder why somebody somebody
Speaker 8: turns around and uh, you know, and takes them up
Speaker 8: on it and throws the brick at a Jewish thing.
Speaker 8: I mean, I mean, why, why, why did why? Why
Speaker 8: why does the town government awawe in a Jewish town
Speaker 8: you'll you'll wow, antie Israel protests and then somebody takes
Speaker 8: them up on it.
Speaker 1: Well, there was a Supreme Court decision which allowed Nazis
Speaker 1: to march in a place called Skokie, Illinois, back in
Speaker 1: the nineteen sixties, and the idea is that as long
Speaker 1: as they don't engage in activity, they're allowed to they're
Speaker 1: allowed to have free speech. And Harvey Silverglade would would understand,
Speaker 1: and he would explain to you if he were here,
Speaker 1: that that's merely speech. Now, I would like to have
Speaker 1: seen the Palestinian protesters gather over the weekend or maybe
Speaker 1: next weekend and have and show a sign of support
Speaker 1: for that delicate for that grocery store, that Jewish grocery store,
Speaker 1: and that would be That's what I'm calling for, for
Speaker 1: people to do the right thing and say, hey, look,
Speaker 1: we may be pro Palestine, we're not in favor of
Speaker 1: throwing bricks through the window, the plate glass window of
Speaker 1: Jewish grocery stores. That is what I want to hear.
Speaker 1: It's easy enough for people who support Israel to say
Speaker 1: that's horrible. I think it's horrible.
Speaker 2: You think it's horrible.
Speaker 1: But our voices would not count as much if it
Speaker 1: came from the pro Palestinian uh fact, you know, you
Speaker 1: know portion of our society that would that would be
Speaker 1: more more important simple as in my opinion, well.
Speaker 8: I would I would say, I would say those kinds
Speaker 8: of protests should should be where most of them are,
Speaker 8: you know, in downtown Boston.
Speaker 1: You know, I think unfortunately they are allowed to protest
Speaker 1: where they want. Uh, they couldnot. There are some limitations
Speaker 1: and all of that, but they would they would earn
Speaker 1: some support and some respect if they were to have
Speaker 1: a group of people to walk there and say we're
Speaker 1: we're pro Palestini, but we denounce anyone engaging in violence,
Speaker 1: and particularly throwing a brick through the through a Jewish
Speaker 1: grocery store, simple as that. Thanks Mike, I gotta roll
Speaker 1: here because I'm up against it. Okay, thank you. Min
Speaker 1: to talk to you soon.
Speaker 2: Good night. Let me get one more. No, No, we're not.
Speaker 1: Gonna short change anybody. Jennifer, David, Dan, and Tom. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get you in, I promise, but but I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take a very quick break. I'm not gonna short change anyone.
Speaker 1: We'll be back right after this on Night Side, And
Speaker 1: if you want to, the only line is six one seven.
Speaker 1: It'll be tough to get you in, but I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get Jennifer, David, Dan and Tom. You guys stay right there.
Speaker 1: Back after this.
Speaker 6: It's Night Side with.
Speaker 8: Boston's news radio.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna try my darned just to get everybody
Speaker 1: in here. Let's rock and roll Tom and Dennis Tom
Speaker 1: next on Nightside, Go right ahead.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we always talked a few times.
Speaker 5: Wasn't it true?
Speaker 10: Uh?
Speaker 7: I don't know. I'm pretty sure I'm right. Wasn't this
Speaker 7: guy that did the shooting of the two state the
Speaker 7: state senators out in I think it's Minnesota. Wasn't he
Speaker 7: a Tim Watts appointee to a board of some.
Speaker 2: Well whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa?
Speaker 1: First of all, Yes, but I think, and I looked
Speaker 1: at that today, he's one of these guys who was
Speaker 1: appointed as some sort of a board. There were lots
Speaker 1: of people there, like, I don't know, you know, fifteen
Speaker 1: hundred people that were appointed. I saw a little bit
Speaker 1: of that today. But this guy clearly was a pro life,
Speaker 1: anti abortion person, and he went after Democratic politicians and
Speaker 1: the other houses that he visited were Democratic politicians. He
Speaker 1: had the two Democratic senators on his hit list, So so, in.
Speaker 7: Other words, he was he was a Republican that was
Speaker 7: appointed by Tim Waltz.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I guess he might have been. He might
Speaker 1: have been a Republican. He might have been an independent,
Speaker 1: but he certainly was much more aligned with the conservative
Speaker 1: point of view.
Speaker 7: I just I'm just curious as to whether or not,
Speaker 7: you know, you know, what exactly what his uh political
Speaker 7: affiliation was, before we start condemning the the conservative side,
Speaker 7: we should find out all that.
Speaker 1: Well, I just say, I would go look at read
Speaker 1: read the New York Times or whatever the list of
Speaker 1: people who he had intended to potential Who's on his
Speaker 1: hit list?
Speaker 7: They understand, Oh, I understand, they're all Democrats. I understand that.
Speaker 7: But I just I'm just curious as as a baseline,
Speaker 7: what his what his uh political affiliation is, whether or
Speaker 7: not he is in fact a Democrat or a republic if.
Speaker 1: He was a rep If he's a Democrat, why would
Speaker 1: he have a hit list of all Democrats?
Speaker 7: I have no idea, right, well, that yeah, to me,
Speaker 7: I would.
Speaker 2: Have an idea.
Speaker 1: My idea, Tom and you and I generly tend to agree.
Speaker 1: My idea is that, as we would say, Latin race
Speaker 1: hips are loquid of the results speaks for itself in Latin. Essentially,
Speaker 1: this guy killed two Democratic legislators and states, well, he
Speaker 1: killed two, he killed the couple. Excuse me, a Democratic
Speaker 1: State representative and her husband, and then he wounded a
Speaker 1: Democratic States senator and his wife.
Speaker 7: If I do this, how about if I do a
Speaker 7: little due diligence myself, and.
Speaker 2: Yeah, due diligence and come on back to you.
Speaker 7: Give me a call back tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Give me a call back. You go right ahead. I'll
Speaker 1: look forward to it. Okay, thank you very much, than man,
Speaker 1: talk to you later. Thank you you as well. Let
Speaker 1: me go next to David and Lester. David, I got
Speaker 1: you in a little earlier. Give you a couple of minutes, David,
Speaker 1: because they got three more.
Speaker 4: Go right ahead, Dan, Hi, I don't know, I feel
Speaker 4: a great I don't know if you're a great man
Speaker 4: like that, gentleman, just saying because as I told you,
Speaker 4: I'm going to tell my mommy. He took my name
Speaker 4: and Daniel also, but I called with my second second name,
Speaker 4: so that we don't when you were talking, we don't.
Speaker 4: We don't criss cross.
Speaker 1: Could use each other. Okay, I'm happy with that. You
Speaker 1: go right ahead. What's your thought on this?
Speaker 4: But I will tell my mommy what Another thing my
Speaker 4: mommy told me is that you know, to always try
Speaker 4: and look for the truth. The coup is very important,
Speaker 4: and I was. I was humbled and touched when president
Speaker 4: President Trump was elected the second time because I listened
Speaker 4: to him talk and I said, I said to my friends,
Speaker 4: you know, before he sounded like a three year old
Speaker 4: during the type of time, but he seemed to have
Speaker 4: grown up. We just cause us puzzled. I was puzzled
Speaker 4: because you know, he's a part of me that the
Speaker 4: nice found a good children to try so so I
Speaker 4: said to myself, how can you raise such good children
Speaker 4: and only three years old? The way he talked the twentyway.
Speaker 4: I having said that in my pursuit of the truth,
Speaker 4: I just want to say this, I am. You know,
Speaker 4: I hope the election Donald Trump as America's you know,
Speaker 4: for whatever president will be, will be a good thing,
Speaker 4: and that the people who people who say think bad
Speaker 4: things about him, they will be as wrong as I
Speaker 4: was in nineteen seventy six when I was interviewed by
Speaker 4: the Debate at Banner about when you know, just after
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, after the president Kata had just been elected,
Speaker 4: and how wrong I was. I made the comment that,
Speaker 4: oh my god, he come from Georgia next to Alabama.
Speaker 4: So now it means that what it means is that
Speaker 4: you know, all.
Speaker 2: Right, well, I got to get you, David, I got
Speaker 2: to get you.
Speaker 1: I've gone a little over two minutes here and interesting,
Speaker 1: but I got three people behind you, and I can
Speaker 1: only give them about a minute apiece.
Speaker 2: So I gotta I gotta let you run.
Speaker 4: On the relevant. I'm sorry, just a few seconds. I'll
Speaker 4: guess say, let's not you know, let's let's not forget
Speaker 4: and this is in supportant bubble before let's not forget.
Speaker 4: But actually his la won the election also, okay.
Speaker 2: So we've gone from kind words for enough.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, he won an election and uh and then
Speaker 1: there were no further elections anyway.
Speaker 2: Thanks, Thanks David, we'll talk soon. Thank you very much. Again.
Speaker 1: David kind of gets to his point, but it takes
Speaker 1: a long time to get to the point. Jennifer in Boston, Hey, Jennifer,
Speaker 1: you're next one night saga right ahead.
Speaker 10: I didn't I just want to say thank you for
Speaker 10: having us topics. And I don't think there's anything that's
Speaker 10: a greater importance than this right now. We need to unify,
Speaker 10: we need our democracy back, and as all this hate
Speaker 10: it's but you know, we also need the truth and
Speaker 10: freedom of speech is important, and however we choose to
Speaker 10: express that I think is important too, and sometimes it
Speaker 10: can be a little emphasized because the need is there.
Speaker 10: But that's really not what I wanted to say. What
Speaker 10: I wanted to bring up was really Gretchen wentmore okay
Speaker 10: during Trump's presidency when they was when we were voting
Speaker 10: to the primary, she was targeted and her assailants were
Speaker 10: were found and they were put in jail, they were prosecuted.
Speaker 10: I don't really remember how much Trump had to say
Speaker 10: about that at that point, but I don't remember him
Speaker 10: being very critical of that. Of what I remember is
Speaker 10: just silenced. Mostly, Well, he should.
Speaker 1: He should have been, I think I think I think
Speaker 1: that took place when Biden was president, if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 1: Not that Biden had anything to do with it, but yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's an example.
Speaker 10: Where you're correct, You're correct, Biden.
Speaker 2: No, but Donald.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, as the Republican you know, putative potential nominee,
Speaker 1: should have been should have been open about that as well.
Speaker 10: I think that's a great point, and those guys were
Speaker 10: supporting him. But it was brought up recently and Trump
Speaker 10: was asked, would you pardon the men that you were
Speaker 10: gonna they were plotting to kidnap and kill her, and
Speaker 10: he basically is unentertaining that thought right.
Speaker 1: Now, Well, let me tell you something. If he does that,
Speaker 1: he will be criticized roundly on this show.
Speaker 10: Well, I hope so, But can I just say what
Speaker 10: he said? He said? What he said was WHOA. I
Speaker 10: think those guys were drinking and they said some stupid things.
Speaker 2: No, I think it was much more than that, except.
Speaker 10: Me too, And look at January sixth too. I mean,
Speaker 10: part of all these people commit all this violince.
Speaker 1: If you if you've heard me criticize those pardons, Jennifer, Jennifer,
Speaker 1: please don't mist leave my audience. I've criticized those repeatedly.
Speaker 10: I pated you didn't, but I didn't worry.
Speaker 1: I know, but I don't want to leave the impression
Speaker 1: with my audience that I didn't. I said that if
Speaker 1: there was some elderly couple who somehow stumbled into the Congress,
Speaker 1: that's a different story between people who were beating on
Speaker 1: police officers. Jennifer, I gave you two and a half
Speaker 1: minutes here, but I'm flat out of time.
Speaker 2: Okay, you gotta call earlier on that not.
Speaker 1: You, Jennifer. Listen to what I just said. I'm flat
Speaker 1: out of time. Okay, good, I gotta go. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to not be rude to Bill and Dave and Dan.
Speaker 2: Dan. I owe you one here. Bill.
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna get to you anyway, but I appreciate
Speaker 1: you calling both of you more time. I gotta give
Speaker 1: you more time next time you call. We're done for
